I got a job!

That's right.... I GOT A JOB! Okay, the pay isn't great. Actually... I'm not getting paid anything at all. Hmmph! Got to do something about that, I think!

I got the job 'cause of my peeps. Peep #1 asked me, "Do you want the job, Nissy?" and I did so I got it. Some people might call that nepotism but I call it catatism. No... not cataclysm! That would be a bad thing whereas catatism is a good thing. Okay, it's my own made up word but I figure I'm not the world's first kitty to make up words. And as long as they're apropos... Catatism is similar to nepotism with two very big distinctions. Firstly, it only applies to cats. Secondly, it's good and not bad. Hmmm... maybe I mentioned that part already. But the point is, I'm not getting paid so the question must be asked... who else is gonna do it?

But anywho... I am now, the official news correspondent for the Friends of the Valley Waag Animal Shelter. It's pretty neat stuff, I think. Whenever the peeps have something on the go to make some money for the homeless kitties at the Valley Wagg Animal Shelter, I will be the first one on the scene with all the breaking news.

For instance, just recently the peeps did that Easter Dinner Basket & Knitted Cat draw thingy. I was the one who told the whole world all about how much money they raised and who won it. Yeah... they put my words on the shelter website... not the peep's or anyone else silly like that. No... it was allme.

And by the way, just so you know - in case you didn't read my article on the VWAS website - they raised $3,549.12! That's a lot of kibble, let me tell you. About half of that came from ticket sales but the really nice people at Scotiabank, Greenwood not only helped with selling those tickets but they also matched all the profits. Yeah, they gave the shelter this huge, gigantic, enormous cheque worth hundreds and HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of dollars. Wow! It was quite the sight to see. Actually, if you go onto the website, you CAN see it. Peeps took pictures.

And I should mention... the draw was won by a dog. Yup... you heard me... a DOG won the basket. Could you believe it? His name is Willy. Willy is a beagle.

But back to me. So as I said, I am now a real, live, news correspondent. I'm like Anderson Cooper! Hey... I just thought of something... people call him a silver fox and I'm a sterling silver tabby... coincidence? I'll let you decide. That's what we news people do. We dig up all the facts and let the public draw their own conclusions.

Nerissa, that is such and important job and we are so glad that you got it. We checked out that website and it looks very nice. We are excited for you to be a news reporter. We also can't wait to hear all your news.Have a super Sunday.

Congratulations on the new job Nerissa! It sounds as though you are purrfect for it :)Could you ask your Mama to give us your URL address so that we can add you to our sidebar and visit more easily?! You know http://nerissa.... Merci!

Sweet Nerissa Concatz!!! on bein a real live newz reporter, And WOW!!! dat certainly alotta greenpaperz :o So glad you had da time to come to my pawty now dat you important reporter, really great to see you :)) Headbonkz ~ Sunny

And you know what??? If you play your cards right, maybe Anderson Cooper will hear about YOU and then you can be the first Feline Catporter on CNN! I mean, c'mon, they NEED some diversity! They're so speciesist! Aren't all their repawters Humans or sumfing?

Ooohhhh.... wouldn't that be neat? I wonder how I can make this happnen... I think CNN is speciesist. I've NEVER seen a cat reporting on that channel and the peep does watch it quite often. I could do a little segment every now and then on AC360. What do you think?

Wowzers! A job! A real job! Concatulations - I'm jealous. The only job I've ever had is as an official lap warmer for my Mom's legs and there's no pay involved in THAT either! Well, I'm sure you will be the PERFECT roving reporter/spokescat for the shelter and no doubt your peeps are VERY proud of you.....so are we!!!!!
